7:13 pm
we're seeing right now is why it's we. i think that this is just the beginning of what's going to be a long series of frankly stories emerging from that country more than a dozen detainees remain on hunger strike at guantanamo bay protesting indefinite detention and alleged use of torture at the facility and the other side of the barbed wire civilians and military staff at the at the base enjoy the comforts of home as our he's honest us a chicken reports. despite misconceptions give lho is not just a geo to be or not to be shot it's also a forty five square mile military base with no plans of going anywhere full of signs of established american life it is a navy base and we just happened to have the camps in here home to the only mcdonalds on cuban soil a subway sandwich shop a starbucks and a taco bell you got the best the best financial interest the you got pizza starbucks and. all of these other places that helped to set up a logistical support for the troops that are all over the there are about five and

a half thousand people living and working on the base roughly half serve the actual detention center the u.s. government has been leasing this territory since one thousand nine hundred three for just over forty five hundred dollars curiously that is still the price today but it's said that the cuban government has been refusing to accept this money for decades the castro government said you know we don't want this lease anymore in the united states' position was that it's a binding lease and in the lease it actually says that it can't be broken unless both sides both countries agree to that that strikes me as a very odd contract server and territory that the u.s. has occupied against cuba's wishes since one thousand fifty nine most officers come here for short term of up to nine months or longer deployment of two to three years far from a whole life isn't put on hold and you can't date certain people wait and certainly have if it's away from your like rank system then you're allowed to you know there's the downtown lyceum and open air movie theater playing all the hottest

looking at websites like wiki leaks for example once classified always classified. even if the information has long been made public there are other strict regulations in place to fun fact about guantanamo apparently a life of an costs here a little more than a life of a detainee if you run one of these babies over the fine is ten thousand dollars. there's a very strict speed limit in guantanamo and it's a very slow speed limit and people say that that's that's all about the quantised somewhat ironic at a place marred by human rights scandals officials make a point of showing journalists how well prisoners two are kept and thirteen here when i wanted to call so for a compliant detainee at guantanamo they would be allowed to eat books have a piece here some head and shoulder shampoo the less compliant ones have to wear the orange uniforms and get only two books at a time who's going to the other side so you can see the books detainees can't come

december this footage from the opening of the hearings the first video of morsy since his arrest four months ago he refused to wear the mandatory white uniform for defendants and rejected the court's authority insisting he is still the country's legitimate leader during his transfer to prison police were confronted by angry morsy mobs in the capital and other cities are true gauge public opinion on the prosecution of egypt's first democratically elected president. of the revolution the popularity of his pro democracy. by the. military and now despite fighting to bring down both hosni mubarak and mohamed morsi romney has little hope for egypt's future as mostly goes on trial for incitement to kill protesters. for the revolutionaries and now in the worst scenario we have ever been since two thousand and eleven morsi should be tried but it's comic that mubarak
7:20 pm
trial should be held up at every turn while the morsy trial is moving along so fast what shocks me is that the authorities never seem to have the will to push through the court cases of remnants of the former regime tahrir square once the heartbeat of the revolution has become just another busy roundabout in two thousand and eleven and two thousand and thirteen people came here demanding bread freedom and social justice but after the military ousted mr brotherhood president mohamed morsy hundreds have been killed and thousands arrested eating some to fear the freedoms and justice will never become a reality admits this violence rights groups have little faith that the trial of mr morsi and other mr brotherhood leaders will be fair that's coming at a time when there is a general crackdown against the brotherhood a very selective prosecutions on the part of the justice system looking only at brotherhood members with impunity for security services meanwhile the retrial of egypt's other ousted president hosni mubarak drags on the feeling the security operators continues to shape court decisions means egypt's future is hard to

predict the military is entrenched in its own entrance and its own interest again and again the problem now that we need to sit down and agree on a specific route of transition just as either we're trying everyone on meaningful we're taking the road to the south africa bureau and many many other distraught unable to be sure that seems far away as pro morsi protests and clashes with security forces continue to rock the nation the fear is morsi is trial will not deliver much needed justice to egypt the brothers set the stage for further instability and turmoil. t. kyra a nuclear cleanup team in japan's fukushima plant is preparing for one of the most hazardous jobs yet they'll try to move the facilities fuel rods to a safer new location the procedures necessary to stabilize the site crippled by an earthquake and tsunami two and a half years ago but moving the spent fuel from a pool inside one of its reactors presents serious risks and even
7:22 pm
a slight mishap could release a huge amount of radiation into the atmosphere a nuclear power expert arnold gundersen says given the risk neither fukushima's operator tepco nor the japanese government could be trusted it's very dangerous it's never been done before but it has to be done it's not like it can be avoided the risk of keeping nuclear fuel way up in the air and that will given the seismic problems of a building that's been exploded are too severe so it has to be moved. the problem will be that we've got tokyo electric moving it and there's not a lot of faith in this world for it tom put in see it tokyo electric there's no international oversight there and that's the problem it's tokyo electric is basically saying trust us we have no bases trust tokyo electric i think the japanese government is not telling its people the truth and what it really boils down to is that they're measuring the radiation with these radiation detectors in
7:23 pm
the air but they're not registering what these people are breathing in and the inhalation dose from the dust that's on the ground is not included in the japanese calculations so it's critical for these people to stay away stay away from these areas and so. on its way home russia's soyuz rocket with a two thousand and fourteen olympic torch aboard has successfully undocked from the international space station these are the latest pictures from the capsule as it heads towards earth earlier this week the symbol of the sochi winter olympics traveled to assess for historic first two russian cosmonauts she took the torch on its very first space walk saturday while outside the station the pair saved the moment for posterity by taking pictures with her helmet cams despite the torch having traveled to space twice before it once in one thousand nine hundred six and once in two thousand this is the only time it's ever gone on a walk outside the craft we'll bring you updates as the torch journey continues
7:24 pm
back to earth don't miss our live coverage of the landing that's starting at three g.m.t. and more news coming up in about fifteen minutes up next our business program venture capital. if you. know opportunity. to construct your to. give. it a little. bit of time but. just me because i was and i. said. i don't want to die i just really do not want to die young.
7:25 pm
the to. the world comes to frantic capital riches we the libyan energy industry is once again in time all but this time it could be the cold winter for a time that is i'll explain in just a minute i'll not want to support the most anticipated i.p.o. soon space but yes i'm talking about twitter after this week i'll give you the
7:26 pm
analysis on that won the. miss universe us happens in most cases we've got to catch up with some of the gorgeous girls and also about the money not to talk of using this issue and almost all in-house invest up he's at the business to tell us what he's about to say was a lot to get through but i would start with libya. so libya's energy industry is once again in tow and this time is a city that could face the consequences of a country's celtic or any gas industry ball the protesters have occupied a guest in western libya the green stream gas pipeline that delivers supplies to sicily so for more on this topic i'm now joined by implats. hi there stuart can you tell me what do you make of the latest troubles in libya and what does it mean for the libyan oil industry and indeed it's like this could be pretty seriously for for it's really if they do manage to prevent the gas flows because obviously we're
7:27 pm
heading towards towards winter and it's really to a large degree depends on this gas coming across the mediterranean from libya. which is the main italian oil and gas company has said that it's pretty convinced they can find alternative supplies if the libyan supply is shut off completely but obviously that's going to it's going to be expensive for the italians to have to bring in l. and g. perhaps from elsewhere even russian gas to that once before so i mean it's not good for italy and it's not good for libya because they're losing in very important revenues of course of course as you say if they see are going to diversify or find their gas from elsewhere silly levy is going to be the biggest loser in all of this . that's right and the authorities continue to say they repeatedly say and stress to their own people that they are losing something like one hundred thirty million dollars a day from the disruption to the oil and gas to the oil minister the prime minister the government authorities there making pleas daily almost to the to the activists
7:28 pm
to please stop because you're ruining your own country here we are november we still want trouble when you see the end of the. it's very very difficult to say the oil sector is completely paralyzed still production is down to two hundred two hundred fifty thousand barrels a day a long way off capacity which is about one point six million barrels a day and it's been stands at standstill now for nearly six months so what's going to happen well i think really realistically there's very little the government can do because they don't have control of the eastern part of the country and i don't know if people know but in recent weeks two separate groups in eastern libya have a. they declared independence for the east of libya so they have actually formed their own eastern libyan government against each other if you like but what they're trying to do is to break away from tripoli from the rest of libya create this independent eastern libya and then about
7:29 pm
a point they want to be able to start restart exports as an independent country the government in tripoli will not accept what they're going to do there is anyone's guess that ruled out force they ruled out more bloodshed you know they don't want to return to two thousand and eleven were lots of people were killed so at the moment the very the government in tripoli equally is completely stuck i don't know what it can do pretty much nothing you can do so unless they agree to becoming a separate country i think we're going to see the sort of disruption continue for some months yet thank you for talking to us very much appreciate it. so this week the twitter trading debuted at the new york stock exchange by storm the share price jumped seventy three percent raising more than one billion dollars but another storm that's been brewing is the n.s.a. spying scandal and it is interesting that despite the latest revelations of a spy intrusions social media companies such as facebook and google continue.
